So far, I have had requests for :1-a FLIP ALBUM that I had on display at the last open house, 2- making things out of combined punched shapes, and 3-using the BIG SHOT with different types of dies, embossing folders and materials.
Sale-A-Bration is coming! It's a great time to host a party or join my Stampin' Up! team. Come to the OPEN HOUSE and we can talk about it!

My new studio is finally finished and has passed all the inspections!!!! I am in the process of hauling everything up there and trying to organize it in some fashion. I can hardly wait to have everyone over to see it.
In the meantime, I am also working on the class schedule. I learned so many new things in Utah at the Stampin' Up! convention and I'm looking forward to sharing them with you. It's going to be so much fun to finally have a space of my own where we can spread out and CREATE!

Did you know that the postage to mail a SQUARE card is ALOT more than it is to mail a rectangular card?
Don't stop making the square cards you love. Put them in a rectangular envelope when you want to mail them. How easy is that!

All new stamp sets in the Fall-Winter 2008 Idea Book & Catalog (including new hostess sets) will be die cut for your convenience. Sets carried over from the last catalog and those on the dormant list will still require trimming. But, each new set will feature a die cut icon so you'll have no problems identifying die-cut sets.

When you buy an ink pad that comes with a removable plastic liner in the lid (ie. STAZON), do NOT throw it away. Instead, put a GLUE DOT or double sided tape on the little ridge on the top center of this lid and then put the outer lid over it. The glue dot will hold the inner lid to the outer lid. Keeping the inner lid will help prevent your ink pad from drying out.
